An ironing board 11 is adapted to rest flatwise upon the table top and the leaves 9--9,'in ,their folded positions, when the table fop 6, is extended, as clearly indicated in Figs. l and 2. Said ironing board is provided at its rear end, at opposite sides thereof, with angular hinge members 12-12, provided with apertures 12 in their angles, through which are supporting guide rods,

A sleeve board 17, is hingedly mounted at its rear end to a block 18, secured'to the back of the cabinet l, said sleeve boardbeing provided with a drop leaf 19, hinged thereto and adapted, when said sleeve board is let down to a horizontal position, to stand upon the ironing board 11, so as to support the sleeve board 11T.

We do not limit ourselves to the details as here shown and described, except as we may be limited by the hereto appended claim knowing that man f changes can be made without departing rom the spirit of our invention.

We claim:

In a device of the character' described, in combination, a cabinet casing, guide rods mounted within said casing, an ironing board )rovided with angular hin e members slidably connected with said guide rods,

whereby said ironing board can be raised from a horizontal to a vertical position, and
